Fidget Factory 2020

The shipping deadline is looming, and you have a slew of logistics, eager customers, and trolls vying for your attention. You were not prepared for this, and you'll need to rapidly ramp up operations to rise to the occasion.

Fidget Factory is a fast-paced, chaotically fun co-op game in which you and other members of a small startup scramble to make and deliver a product before time — and your coffee — runs out.

Each player is given a unique hat to wear, which translates into a special power or restriction. At the start of each turn, you choose whether to keep your hat or exchange it for another from the table. Roll the number of dice your hat allows, and choose which tasks you'll complete with your resources: time and cash. Trade in three-of-a-kind tasks to purchase a new Fidget Cube side; each new side that is assembled onto the Fidget Cube makes it increasingly powerful as the game progresses.

Top this off with trolls who are set on stealing your dice and hindering your productivity, and you'll find that the only path to victory is by working together with your fellow co-founder(s).

You win the game if you and your co-founder(s) build a full Fidget Cube (all six sides) before the shipping deadline hits.
